Syria: Russian Navy convoy to Tartus for training

Combat training mission and supply stop, sources said

(ANSAMed) - MOSCOW, JULY 10 - The Russian Navy convoy moving
towards Tartus in Syria is part of a Navy combat training
mission and has nothing to do with the Syrian crisis,
military-diplomatic sources told Interfax news agency today.

The convoy, which includes the Admiral Ciabanenko destroyer and
three landing ships, today left Severomorsk on the Barents Sea
and is directed to the Mediterranean, where it will reach the
Russian Navy's base in Tartus Port, on the Syrian coast, where
''our ships will stock up on fuel, food and water,'' the sources
said. (ANSAMed).
